ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“A PEOPLE WHO POSSESS A HUMAN WEALTH AS EXTRAORDINARY AS THAT OF MEXICO HAVE NO REASON WHATSOEVER TO FEEL DEVALUED. PERHAPS IT IS THAT WE DO NOT KNOW AND DO NOT RECOGNIZE WHAT WE ARE.”

—J. G. Z.

Jacobo Grinberg immerses us in a revealing journey into the vibrant essence of the ancestral wisdom of Mexico’s shamans and indigenous psychologists. Through testimonies, anecdotes, and reflections, Grinberg invites us to explore the ancient Indigenous knowledge that has remained woven into our traditions, myths, and rituals. This work is a valuable testament to the cultural richness of Mexico’s Indigenous heritage—one that has resisted the historical adversities of the Conquest and the modern world—and an anthropological document of preservation that allows us to understand the complexity of our country’s millennia-old medicinal and spiritual practices.

Mexican Indigenous Psychology stands as a beacon illuminating the path toward understanding a reality that, though at times denied or concealed, continues to beat with great force in our present day.
